Force Calculator
PHYSICS
This calculator helps you find the missing variable in Newton's Second Law of Motion. When any two variables are known
Newton's Second Law of Motion:
The acceleration (a) of an object is directly proportional to the net force (F) acting on it and inversely proportional to its mass (m). Mathematically, it is expressed as:
F = m a
Variables:
F : Force acting on the object in (Newtons, N),
m : Mass of the object in (Kilograms, kg),
a : Acceleration of the object in (meters per second squared, m/s²)
Example:
A shopping cart with a mass of m = 10 kg is pushed with a force of F = 20 N. Now, using Newton's Second Law, calculate acceleration a ?
we are going to calculate acceleration a, as we have two known variables F and m.
F = m a
a = F/m
a = 20/10
a = 2 m/s²
Thus cart accelerates at 2 m/s² in the direction of the applied force.
